AUTISM as a put-down/JUST STOP

Just stop. Stop using autism as a put-down. As the parent of a daughter on the autism spectrum, its disheartening when ignorant people use it as a term of derision, not just these forums, but in everyday life. People on the spectrum process information in very unique ways, but also exhibit behaviors that typically minded folks may find odd. They can also exhibit uncanny genius--my daughter by age 5 knew world capitals better than most grownups, having an eidetic memory. Unless you personally know someone affected by autism spectrum disorder (ASD) you don't know jack, & your digs are borne of spiteful indifference. So to all who would continue to do so, there goes your insensitive theory, plummeting out a high-rise window. Autism: different...not worse. **daughter Dylan drops mic/walks offstage** [b]Ninja edit:[/b] [spoiler]This thread has been moved to [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/140397455/0/0]#Offtopic,[/url] a more appropriate forum for this offtopic discussion.

    Oh FFS, people like you are ruining life for everyone. Grow a thicker skin. Jesus what is it with you millennials and everything being offensive ? GROW UP! The world isnt all pillows and hugs. Its a horrible,dark place filled with sadness and misfortune, you better god damned accept it. There is no utopia, there is no peace, Christ on a crutch, humans are getting more and more pathetic with every year that passes. No one cares about your life story or your brood. Also I dont believe you TBQH ! I think you are just looking to start a fight and you are making things up. You people are beyond worthless ! "oh this upsets me" "this offends me " . The world isnt going to change for you or your faceless family, so you better get used to it. If I want to use autistic as a insult, I will, If I want to use gay as a put-down I will. We are not obligated to live by your thin skin moralistic BS you hold so dear. The world isnt yours to mold and you have no right to tell others how they should talk or act. Mind your damned business and take care of yourself.
